Death is not attractive
you can feel the fear
shocking them with electric prods
is wrong and they appear
more edgy and more nervous
you can see it in the way
they are moving so agitated
and being made to pay
they are walking to their deaths
the human beings couldn’t care
a heartless bunch of morons
they are not aware
for them its just another job
for them their minds are dead
but those cows are frightened
out of their lives
their ears their eyes
their head
they are twitching so unnaturally
threatened by it all
one goes through to the killing chute
and we can hear her call
that thrust of steel that
tears her throat
that gurgling choking sound
the other cows she hears it
and she wants to go to ground
get out of there and quickly
look at the pain and awe
she tries to turn her body around
we just cannot ignore
the panic that has set in
she’s doesn’t know what to do
all she wants is to run away
its awful now to view
the drama this is real life
there are no actors here
her death it will be final
she will disappear
cut up on some supermarket tray
and sold and ate
the last look at humanity
before the blade is set
the frustration of youngster
who really wants to be
out in the green fields
ruminating for all eternity
I feel as we all feel for that soul
and all the souls before
each one took their fatal step
and reached the pit of gore
their own blood they bathed in
their own pain they felt
their own memories flashed before
them
as in their death throes they knelt
tasting their own blood and snot
their eyes rolled this way that
as life was ebbing fast away
she knew where she was at
